Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Unfortunately, many who suffer with Complex PTSD can also show signs of Dissociative Disorders. Dissociative disorders can severely disrupt daily functioning, making it difficult to maintain relationships or employment. It can cause significant confusion, as individuals may not remember past events, feel detached from their surroundings, or experience shifts in identity. I have experience working with all five major types of dissociative disorders: dissociative identity disorder (DID); dissociative amnesia (DA), including dissociative fugue (DF) as a subtype; depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPDRD); other specified dissociative disorders (OSDD); and unspecified dissociative disorders (UDD). Treatment focuses on connecting with the present, managing triggers, and processing trauma. Immediate steps include grounding techniques, developing safety, practicing self-care, and develop skills to identify and cope with personal triggers that worsen symptoms.

Juliette Kuhlmann
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
My therapeutic approach is deeply informed by Structural Dissociation and Attachment theories. I understand the effect that trauma and stress can have on the mind and body, and the unique strategies our minds can use to protect us from what's overwhelming. You can explore your experience with dissociation at your pace and learn more about calming and self-soothing tools, alongside a clinician skilled in supporting your whole person and one mind.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Dissociation is the mind's defense against persistent or severe trauma and neglect. It is when a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. This process is an amazing defense/survival mechanism, but it also leads to patterns that interfere with normal functioning. Ego-state work, combined with EMDR works to heal the profoundly painful impact of this type of trauma, and leads to significantly enhanced resilience and the ability to experience joy, love and belonging - both internally, and in relationships with others.
